ENTRY. SPECIMEN 03.

ACCESSION III | DEPT. ARTIFACTS AND SPECIMENS.

SPECIMEN 03 is Titanium Museum's unique approach to manufacturing Titanium eyewear with a wraparound temple: the entire frame was carved from a single, solid 8mm thick titanium block and then formed under a 700-ton press using a deeper mould than previous entries. This produces the style's characteristically deep temple arms, with the 180-degree hinge and armature screw mounted on the side of the temple rather than at the corner.

Shown here in Col. 'POLISHED RAW METAL' with pale brown Taikiron acetate temple tips. Produced also with pale brown Katohachi sun lenses.

Sizing: 45▢25-145.

Certificate note. SPECIMEN 03 will be released to order Dec.2026.

Conceived in Scotland. Made in Sabae, Japan.

ENTRY. UTOPIOLOGIST.

ACCESSION II | DEPT. ARTIFACTS AND SPECIMENS.

UTOPIOLOGIST is an almost round unisex frame, an interpretation of the style worn by the Utopiological Architect Le Corbusier, where here the shape is subjected to a different value: A brutalist makeover, with an inverted front of thicker front temple ends and damage effect CNC milled into the smooth facade. A brutalist imposition over a modernist form.

UTOPIOLOGIST was produced in a limited edition of 100.

Milled from a solid 5mm titanium slab. Damage effect CNC milled across the front. Armature screws at the hinges. Taikiron acetate temple tips.

Shown here in Col. 'BURGUNDY TEXTURE' with burgundy Taikiron acetate temple tips. Available as optical or with Katohachi sun lenses. Sizing: 43▢23-147.

ENTRY. SPECIMEN 01.

ACCESSION III | DEPT. ARTIFACTS AND SPECIMENS.

SPECIMEN 01 takes its name from its position as the founding entry of ACCESSION III. Like all Titanium Museum Specimens it is a deliberately damaged object.

The frames are milled from a solid 6mm titanium ingot. The damage effect is CNC milled directly into the body of the titanium around each lens opening, a controlled ruination built into the manufacturing process itself. In that same tradition, the architect James Wines and his practice SITE were producing buildings with deliberate structural damage: facades mid-collapse, intentional ruination in the otherwise classically designed frame shape. Secured with knurled pan-head screws and armature screws at the hinges.

Temple tips in polished Japanese Taikiron acetate.

Shown here in 'Raw Polished metal'. Available as optical or with Katohachi sun lenses.

SPECIMEN 01 was produced in a limited edition of 150.

Conceived in Scotland. Made in Sabae, Japan.

ENTRY. SOFT BRUTALISM.
